Interconnecting more or less regularly. |
|
percurrent 2 |
|
architecture |
tertiary laminar veins |
Perpendicular to and interconnecting adjacent parallel secondary veins, the secondary and tertiary veins together forming a scalariform pattern. |
|
foliose 2 |
|
architecture |
thallus |
Having leaf-like lobes; in Hepaticae. |
|
dovetailing |
|
habit |
trichome |
Papillate and serving to hold a surface to the opposing one of an appressed structure by interlocking with others on the opposing surface; sometimes furcate. |
|
stigmatic |
|
habit |
trichome |
Borne on the surface of the stigma and serving to hold pollen deposited there, variously shaped, often glandular, sometimes contractile. |
|
stinging |
= urent |
habit |
trichome |
Setaceous or capillate and ejecting an irritating fluid when the apex is dislocated by external pressure, the ejection accomplished by release of existing internal fluid pressure or by contraction of the whole trichome. |
|
septate 2 |
|
architecture |
trichome |
Unicellular to multicellular with transverse partitions (septa) that are common cell walls (intercellular) and/or intrusions from longitudinal cell walls (intracellular). |
|
levering |
|
habit |
trichome |
Forming part of a pappus and reflexing at maturity, thus helping to loosen the individual fruit (cypsela) from the capitulum (head); in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
…seriate 1 |
|
architecture |
trichome |
Multicellular with the number of longitudinal columns of superposed cells indicated by the prefix; as in biseriate, multiseriate, uniseriate. |
|
non-septate |
|
architecture |
trichome |
Lacking transverse inter- or intracellular septa or partitions. |
|
simple 2 |
|
architecture |
trichome |
Unicellular and unbranched. |
|
anchoring |
|
habit |
trichome |
Serving as a means of attachment to some external support. |
|
urent |
= stinging |
habit |
trichome |
Setaceous or capillate and ejecting an irritating fluid when the apex is dislocated by external pressure, the ejection accomplished by release of existing internal fluid pressure or by contraction of the whole trichome. |
